The Montreal Gazette is ebullient in its celebration of the 80th birthday of Phyllis Lambert, North America's most generous and knowledgeable patron of architecture. Most noted for commissioning the Seagram building, the gazette has dubbed her 'Joan of Architecture'.

The AJ supports the architecture industry on a daily basiswith in-depth news analysis, insight into issues that are affecting the industry, comprehensive building studies with technical details and drawings, client profiles, competition updates as well as letting you know who’s won what and why.
